citation 4 links to a 61-page CIA report. It was added by user Umfront. The part that they "cited" seems to be on page 30. "forgotten" is not used in the report lol

I'm just confused. Who the fuck has time to read a 61 page report from the CIA to highlight the most useless part of it and then proceed to misquote it while editing it onto Wikipedia???

    Anticommunists that know it won't be checked.

    The user "happybadger" on the online forum Hexbear.net also developed the same design but slightly better and in 1950. This was forgotten until 2024.

    It's extremely funny how common this is, at least they don't present it here as being "independently" invented in the west and just mention the actual invention in passing

      It could be improved, but grammatically it's fine. Not repeating words or phrases is more for literature than informative writing. The accuracy (or lack thereof) is the bigger issue with it.

    just edit the page, delete the sentence, and in your change reason write "source does not verify claim". wikipedia is easy
